Treatment Summary: | WT C57Bl/6 mice (C57BL/6NCrl strain code #027) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Frederick, MD) and DKI mice were kindly provided by the Laboratory of Immune Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute (P.I. Jonathan D. Ashwell, M.D.) (Jirmanova et al. 2011). Animals were bred/irradiated (12 h light / 12 h dark cycle conditions) at Georgetown University and water and food (PicoLab Rodent Diet 20 #5053) were provided ad libitum according to Georgetown University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (GUACUC) protocols (2016-1152). Before irradiation and biofluid collection the mice were acclimated to metabolic cages for 24 h. Male mice that were 8 – 10 weeks old were exposed to a total body ionization (TBI) x-ray dose (~1.67 Gy/min; X-Rad 320, Precision X-Ray Inc, Branford, CT; filter, 0.75 mm tin/ 0.25 mm copper/1.5 mm aluminum) of 0, 2, or 7 Gy. All urine samples were collected over a 24 h period in a metabolic cage pre-irradiation and at days 1, 3, and 7 d post-irradiation (Figure S1). Blood for metabolomics was collected at 1 d via cheek bleed from the submandibular vein and serum was separated in a BD microtainer serum separator tube and centrifuged for 10 min (10,000 x g, 4°C). Serum samples from sham-irradiated mice were used as a control (Figure S1). All biofluids were flash frozen and stored at -80°C until further use. Seven days post-irradiation, blood was collected in a dipotassium EDTA Tube (BD Cat #365974) via the facial vein from each animal and subjected to a complete blood count by VRL Diagnostics (Gaithersburg, MD, http://www.vrlsat.com/) (Figure S2). |
